Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RN65C5003FRE6 are qualified based on the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Identical resistance value: 500 kOhms
• Identical power rating: 0.5W (1/2W)
• Identical composition: Metal Film
• Identical package type: Axial
• Identical operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C
• Identical series classification: Military, MIL-R-10509/2, RN65
• Identical physical dimensions: 0.180" Dia x 0.562" L (4.57mm x 14.27mm)
• Identical features: Flame Retardant Coating, Military, Moisture Resistant, Safety

Substitutes may differ in tolerance specification and packaging format (Bulk vs. Tape & Reel), provided all other electrical and mechanical parameters remain equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—RN65C5003FRE6, RN65E5003BB14, and RN65E5003FB14—are active products from Vishay Dale with identical military-grade specifications and compliance status. Selection between these parts is determined by application requirements and packaging availability:

RN65C5003FRE6 is supplied in Tape & Reel format with ±1% tolerance and ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient. This configuration is suitable for automated assembly processes requiring reel packaging.

RN65E5003BB14 offers improved tolerance specification at ±0.1% with a reduced temperature coefficient of ±25ppm/°C, supplied in Bulk packaging. This part is selected when tighter tolerance control is required.

RN65E5003FB14 maintains the ±1% tolerance specification with an improved temperature coefficient of ±25ppm/°C, supplied in Bulk packaging. This part provides enhanced temperature stability while maintaining the original tolerance specification.

All parts share identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected compliance status, reflecting their military-grade classification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN65E5003BB14 replace RN65C5003FRE6 in all applications?

A: RN65E5003BB14 is electrically and mechanically compatible with RN65C5003FRE6. The primary differences are packaging format (Bulk vs. Tape & Reel) and tolerance specification (±0.1% vs. ±1%). Applications requiring automated reel-based assembly may require format conversion. Applications with tolerance-critical specifications benefit from the tighter ±0.1% tolerance of RN65E5003BB14.

Q: What is the difference between RN65E5003FB14 and RN65C5003FRE6?

A: Both parts maintain ±1% tolerance and identical electrical specifications. RN65E5003FB14 features an improved temperature coefficient of ±25ppm/°C compared to ±50ppm/°C in RN65C5003FRE6, providing superior temperature stability. Packaging differs: RN65C5003FRE6 is supplied in Tape & Reel format while RN65E5003FB14 is supplied in Bulk format.

Q: Are all three parts suitable for military applications?

A: All three parts are classified as military-grade components within the MIL-R-10509/2 specification and RN65 series. All maintain identical flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety features required for military applications.

Q: How do packaging formats affect component selection?

A: RN65C5003FRE6 is supplied in Tape & Reel format, optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly. RN65E5003BB14 and RN65E5003FB14 are supplied in Bulk format, suitable for manual assembly or alternative packaging processes. Format selection depends on manufacturing process requirements.

Q: What compliance considerations apply to these parts?

A: All three parts share identical compliance status: RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. This classification reflects their military-grade designation and material composition. Compliance requirements must be evaluated against specific application and regulatory requirements.
